Textbook:

·         Although sometimes editorials include complementary material it is still imposed as the only resource

·         It is conceived as a form of business more than a tool for education.

·         It is not based in the ideas of teachers or other professional of education, it is based on an agreement between editorials and the government, so, indeed it is strongly politicized...

·         As textbooks change with every law, books cannot be reused by schools.

·         Although there are some ways to own textbooks like book banks, they are still very expansive and a lot of families cannot afford them.

·         Shrink-wrapping supplemental materials are rarely used and its one use reduces the Value of the book to resale.

·         The end consumers (students) do not select the product, and the product is not purchased by faculty or professors. Therefore, price is removed from the purchasing decision, giving the producer (publishers) disproportionate market power to set prices high. This is why is known as “the broken market”. This is increased with the lack of competition.
